Nice sandwich. I used fresh tuna only cuz I had some which I love, but canned would work just as well. I did use red leaf I like it better than green leaf, but still of a soft green lettuce. nice simple flavors. And capers, what could be bad that has capers in it. NOTHING. I love them. Nice sandwich! Enjoyed as did my co workers. Make 2 big baguettes.
